I got this dress some time back. I can wear between xl to 1x in FN dresses 5’6 230, 38C, 46 hips, 35 waist, thick thighs, chunky arms and a lil’ pooch I have it and green and cognac and I got them when dresses were BOGO. I got both of them for free and at the time there were no reviews so I guesstimated from previous purchases. Got 1x and the dresses are way too big. couldn’t send them back or exchange them so they’re just in my closet looking pretty on the hangers lol hope this helps anyone around my measurements or any general get an idea of what size to purchase. if I could I’d get the xl. I’ll have to get both of them taking in if I want to wear them. also the skirt part has an elastic band in the back so if someone wants to go down even smaller, there’s plenty of stretch on the skirt and the top part fits nicely once it’s fitted. SN you definitely need boobage to fill it out😊
